Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
The treatment of your condition will depend o the underlying cause.Possible causes may include: eye irritation, infection, allergy.
I will suggest:
-you take an antihistamin like benedryl, and an antiinflammatory like celestamine.
-Wash eye with clean cold water
-Get enough sleep
-Avoid irritants like dust and smoke
You may then see your GP or an Ophthalmologist if symptoms persist.
Hope this will help you
Best regards
